Stay safe, Austin people
You know what I’m talking about.
I think Tyler’s right in Austin.
Ocho- Texas, but where? Where they need geologists. Near the Gulf?
MediumTex- way north. I want to say...Frisco?
Seems like there are a lot of people from TX on this forum.

I'm a couple of hundred miles from there, so in no particular danger, but I do have to ask the obvious question: why aren't politicians calling for common-sense bomb control? Are they all in thrall to the NBA (National Bomb Association)?

Thanks, Dualstow. I'm there too. That tripwire one was way too close to home.dualstow wrote:You know what I’m talking about.

Re: Stay safe, Austin people
Thanks. I'm definitely keeping a close eye on any packages and being a lot more cautious of my surroundings. Pretty crazy.

Xan! I knew I was missing someone!
I might be missing one or two more.
Best wishes.

Yes, that works very well also.MangoMan wrote:Or the bad guy blowing himself up when the cops have him surrounded.Desert wrote: Only thing that stops a bad guy with a bomb is a good guy with a bomb.
My question is why they don't just blow themselves up first and spare everyone else the trouble?
Re: Stay safe, Austin people
I wonder what this Carlos Danger Snowflake was so aggrieved about.

HAH! I was gonna say the same thing. Haven't seen anything related to the guy except his name.Libertarian666 wrote:I'm going to guess that he had trouble with women.ochotona wrote:I wonder what this Carlos Danger Snowflake was so aggrieved about.

Re: Stay safe, Austin people
I don't think the 25-minute video recording he made has been released, at least not yet. The police chief says that he mentions the 7 devices, which means they're all (most likely) accounted for, so that's a big relief. The chief also said that the guy didn't mention racism or terrorism but instead a lot of personal problems in his own life. So I think Tech is right.Kriegsspiel wrote:HAH!

Re: Stay safe, Austin people
Wall St Journal reports that he referred to himself as a psychopath, and questioned himself on tape. Wondered aloud why he didnt feel any remorse.

I guess he was one of those stupid psychopaths then? I think any psychopath of normal intelligence could figure out why they don't feel remorse when they go psychopathing around.

Re: Stay safe, Austin people
I meant if you aren't a moron, and you know you're a psychopath, you aren't confused as to why you aren't remorseful.
Re: Stay safe, Austin people
Thanks! We're pretty good on power now, not so good on water. There's a city-wide boil order, which is certainly a pain, but in our neck of the woods there's just no water coming out of the pipes at all. There's still snow on the ground which can be harvested and heated for flushing. Fun times!

Has anyone heard from Tyler? I’d like to think he’s built a secret underground lair by now and is unaffected by surface weather.

I PM'd with him earlier. He's in pretty good shape in his lair.dualstow wrote: ↑Fri Feb 19, 2021 10:58 amI heard about that snow flush this morning.

Water's back on this evening! Still with a boil order, but much nicer than none at all.

Glad to hear it. Hope all returns to somewhat normal quickly.

Re: Stay safe, Austin people
I'm almost afraid to ask, but how's your utility bill? Tell me you're not on Griddy.

Re: Stay safe, Austin people
I have no sympathy for those now getting the large utility bills. They chose to live with minimal regulation plus they want to keep all their prior savings. Now they want the rest of us to pay their bills.
